rfc-3 CATHOLIC DIRECTORY OF INDIA, CEYLON AND BURMA 1926. PUBLISHED BY THE CATHOLIC SUPPLY SOCIETY, MADRAS. PRINTED AT THE “ GOOD PASTOR ” PRESS, BROADWAY, MADRAS. Yale Divinity Library New Haven, Conn. M m y. 7ê NOTE. The Catholic Directory, now in its 76th year of publication, was known up to 1912 as the Madras Catholic Directory and Annual General Register. It was then preceded by the Or do redtandi Officii Divini, etc., which is now issued separately. Each sheet of the Directory contains, as fa r as possible, the latest information down to the time of its going to press. Nihil obstat. P. JUSTIN VÏON, Censor Deputatus. Imprimatur : * J. AELEN, Archbishop of Madras. Madras, 15th Januaiy 1926. PREFACE. In offering the Catholic Directory for 1926, the editor thinks he ought to tender a few words of apology to the reader. Fully aware of the many short-comings, omissions and oversights which have crept in the present issue, the editor can vouchsafe to assert that this is a fair attempt at embo dying most of the suggestions and construc tive criticisms which were sent to him in the course of last year. The chief improvement of the present issue consists in this : the book has been divided into three parts : 1. General Informa tion ; 2. Territorial Units ; 3. Alphabetical Lists and References. This renders classifi cation of items more easy and opens the way for further improvements which we contemplate in the next issue. The Historical Notes of several dioceses have been recast and to make them still more precise and concise the editor ventures to call for the help of all those who could give any assistance on the subject. The list of Priests is still very faulty. It appeared to the editor like a maze which he tried to unravel. He struck off several names of priests whom he knew to be dead for several years. On the other side he added many names of priests whom he knew personally for the last decade and who had not yet found their way into the Directory. These had been mostly working in Colleges. Besides he got letters from several priests complaining that their names were omitted in the Directory; and strange to say in the proofs he got from the Chancelleries these names were not mentioned either. There fore, if any omission of the kind is still to be found, the editor asks that a report be made, not to the editor, but to headquarters, where the mistake may be corrected in the proofs for the next issue. We cannot thank the Chancellors suffi ciently for their readiness in providing the required information, only Kandy having failed to forward the Gazetteer. The list of our Auxiliaries has been asked. This we cannot give this year as the number of all our helpers, brothers, sisters, sanyassis is still to be desired. If the various Chancelleries give us the number of helpers they have, perhaps next year we may give an exact list of Auxiliaries. We thank most heartily the Rev. C. Houpert, S.J., lor his yearly contribution to the Catholic Directory and especially for the great amount of valuable practical help he has so readily given to the editor. W e must not omit our thanks to Mr. Arputhasawmy Udayar for the notice on the late L. D Swamikannu Pillai. Indeed, Diwan Bahadur L. D. Swamikannu Pillai was a unique man in the annals of the Catholic Church in India and several have thought with good reason that his loss ought to be recorded in the Catholic Directory.
